Harlem Globetrotters Visit Centennial to Celebrate Our Exceptional Students

 

                                                                                                          

Two members of the Harlem Globetrotters came to Centennial last Tuesday to help kickoff Exceptional Children’s Month. The Globetrotters put on an exhibition with wheelchair athletes from BlazeSports that was featured on Fox’s Good Day Atlanta. Several of our CBI students had the opportunity to use some of the chairs and get on the floor with the Globetrotters. Later in the day the two Globetrotters gave a great talk to our students about their CARE initiative and character education. They also talked about their lives and how a positive attitude has helped them to be successful in their lives.  You can find a gallery of photos here: Globetrotters with CBI kids
